As the Alfa Romeo 147 was built on the same platform as the 156 (albeit with a 49 mm shorter wheelbase) and shared with it most major subsystems, it was a no-brainer for Alfa Romeo to create a GTA variant of the 147 as well, which was presented in November 2002, about a year after the 156 GTA was. The Alfa Romeo 147 GTA could accelerate from naught to 100 Km/h in 6.3 seconds and reach a top speed nearing 250 Km/h: figures that, upon its launch, few models in its category could match.
Such performances were possible thanks to one of automobile history's greatest engines: the last evolution of Alfa's melodious V6 engine, known by enthusiasts the world over by the surname of its original designer, the legendary Giuseppe Busso. The specification of the 3.2 V6 used on the 147 GTA was exactly the same as the 156, and it produced 250 HP at 6200 Rpm.
